undergraduate institution covering 50 acres (20 hectares) in Lansing, Mich. It was founded in 1949 and is affiliated with the Church of Christ. The college operates on a semester calendar and awards associate and bachelor’s degrees within the fields of religious studies, education, and music. A dual-degree program enables students to study business in conjunction with Davenport College of Business. Off-campus opportunities exist at many nearby institutions, including Michigan State University.

The college enrolls fewer than 300 students, about a fourth of whom come from outside of the state. The numbers of men and women attending are relatively equal. More than a quarter of the students are over the age of 25. Traditional-age freshmen who do not live with relatives must reside in campus housing. Extracurricular activities include intercollegiate and intramural sports and a choral group.
